Rated 5 out of 5

Dream of a guitar.

When these came out in 1972 I was waiting to get one. Selling it was one of my greatest regrets in my life.

Dream of a guitar.

By Vic W.

When these came out in 1972 I was waiting to get one. Selling it was one of my greatest regrets in my life.

Like its ancestor, the Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom guitar combines the tradition of a single-coil bridge pickup with the supercharged sound of a humbucking neck pickup. Features include an alder body, maple neck with three-bolt plate and Micro-Tilt adjustment, maple or rosewood fingerboard, single-coil Telecaster bridge pickup, Fender Wide Range humbucking neck pickup and vintage-style bridge and tuners.
